Here you can find my pictures. http://colormaniac.smugmug.com/Landscapes/antelopecanyon2010/12278716_5xjV9#875720708_Lxa7A. To make your page more informative, I'd like to add the following: It costs me $26 to get a photographer's permit for 4 hours. In between their tours, I have about 15-20 minutes to take pictures. (If someone spends more than 4 hours, he/she would get charged for extra!) It seems that the Upper Antelope has a much bigger entrance opening. And there is the "sunbeam spot" that the Lower Antelope doesn't have. Some parts of the Canyon are very narrow and it could be hard for a big guy to squeeze through. Sometimes sands come down from above like rain. I used Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 lens. Now I have to send it back to Canon for cleaning due to the sands that get in the rotating part. I used hi-speed continuous shooting to get 3 pictures of different exposures for every scene. It saves my time for adjusting exposure on the computer to see which ones are the best. Hi, Greg,

The information in your comment is for the Lower Antelope canyon, which is an entirely different location. Also they are showing that you will not have a guide, the service that I used had a photograper for the guide who was very familar with when and where to be for the light shafts and other features of the canyon. This is a fantastic location and you can get great shots from either the upper or the lower canyon. Thanks Daniel, the price is determined by each tour opperator.

I'm going there to take pictures and find this very helpful. However, there is one thing that gets me baffled. According to this page, http://www.lowerantelope.com/aboutTheTour.php, the entrance fee is not that much. Is it because there are many areas under different offices? If I get the photographer's permit as mentioned in that page, would I still get to see what you are showing here? Thank you! Hello, thank you very much for this page!
